The award-winning Belgian designer (including winner of the 2025 Andam prize) will replace Francesco Risso at the fashion house owned by Italian group OTB.
Next up! Marni wasted no time in appointing its new creative head.
Less than a month after announcing the departure of Francesco Risso, after a decade at the helm, the fashion house owned by Italian group OTB (Only The Brave) has appointed Meryll Rogge as its new creative director. She will present her first collection in February 2026 during Milan Fashion Week.
Multiple awards
Although her name is not widely known to the general public, the talented 41-year-old Belgian has made a name for herself in the fashion world in recent years. Already a semi-finalist for the LVMH Prize 2022, a finalist for the ANDAM 2024 and the Woolmark Prize 2025, and crowned “Designer of the Year 2024” at the Belgian Fashion Awards, she has just been honored at the end of June as the winner of the ANDAM 2025 competition.
